A massive slap in the face to Melbourne if we were chasing him seriously and he picked the Saints. 

Last chance ever to play with his brother, and Saints aren't exactly firing. 

We are not having a good time luring players at the moment. I suppose finishing 17th and being always mostly terrible will do that.

    Z Jones is being massively overrated here; very limited player.  Pointless having speed if you don’t have the awareness.  Runs himself into trouble/pressure far too often.

    Dont think we were chasing him. 

    Maybe he's ok about not playing with his bro. Not everyone's thing.

    No slaps in the face required.

    Trade time hasn't even started. Deep breaths...

    Another play with outside speed that we may overlook.

    he is fairly quick but have you seen him kick?

    poor skills and not great decision making either. no point adding speed without kicking skills imo

    Richmond won a flag in 17 with the worst kicking efficiency in the comp

    Good summary. He's a peninsula boy so personally moorabbin may suit him better.  Wouldn't add anythong new.

    Who says?

    We have targeted two and will have them both by the end of the week and had a nibble at one who is injury prone and might end up staying at his club. 

    Where have we failed so far?

    And to add to this, it's never been reported that we've shown the slightest bit of interest in him, so it can't be a 'slap in the face' to the club if we didn't show interest in the first place.

    We are going to sign Tomlinson and Langdon, we are doing ok.   Langdon has Jones covered easily

    It seemed obvious with Chunk being a champ of the MFC

    We needed a pacey wingman, seems a bit strange

    We obviously rated Langdon higher who plays the same role. Based on the last 2 years I think we went after the right guy.

    We did but when Zac met Goody, Zac thought this guy is stubborn. He also thought Melbourne's captains were a joke.

    Zak’s not a wingman, plays his best footy on ball or at half back. Contested players without great skills on the wing isn’t a recipe for success.

    Langdon doesn’t have great skills but is a more natural runner. Tomlinson was free (from draft capital). 

    I would’ve liked Zak but you have to draft and develop as well. Can’t be throwing 500k+ and 2nd rounders at every gap

    Saints now have all the players who nominated them. Good effort

    Agree, the Saints efforts are exceptional. Also the Cats.  

    Can understand the Cats having drawing power but the Saints are a surprise.

    Must have very effective powers of persuasion and been working on their targeted players for a long time. 

    And have a well managed salary cap or lots of brown paper bags.

    I would think that recruiting a player because his brother already plays for us would be right at the bottom of a list of good reasons to be chasing after somebody.   Suspect we won't regret not picking up a vanilla player like Z. Jones.

    Saints only have 51 and 82 this year. They still need to bring in 3 from the draft. Maybe a rookie upgrade? Not sure, but I think they traded future picks as well.

    They've sold the farm for those 5 players. Better work, or they are rooted for the next 3-5 years.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
